Which among the following is the $CORRECT$ formula for the determination of cell constant?
A
$l/a = k/R$
B
$l/a = k \cdot R$
C
$l/a = R/k$
D
$l/a = 1/R$

Solution

(B) The conductivity $(k)$ is related to conductance $(G)$ and cell constant $(l/a)$ by the equation: $k = G \times (l/a)$.
Since conductance $G = 1/R$,we have $k = (1/R) \times (l/a)$.
Rearranging the formula to solve for the cell constant $(l/a)$: $l/a = k \times R$.

$c = 0.02 \ M = 0.02 \ mol \ L^{-1}$
Substituting the values:
$\kappa = \frac{142.3 \times 0.02}{1000} \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^{-1}$
$\kappa = 2.846 \times 10^{-3} \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^{-1}$
Rounding to two decimal places,we get:
$\kappa \approx 2.85 \times 10^{-3} \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^{-1}$

EasyMCQ
Which of the following expressions represents the molar conductivity of an $AB_3$ type electrolyte?
A
$3 \lambda_{A^{3+}}^{\circ} + \lambda_{B^{-}}^{\circ}$
B
$\lambda_{A^{3+}}^{\circ} + \lambda_{B^{-}}^{\circ}$
C
$\lambda_{A^{3+}}^{\circ} + 3 \lambda_{B^{-}}^{\circ}$
D
$2 \lambda_{A^{3+}}^{\circ} + \lambda_{B^{-}}^{\circ}$

Solution

(C) The dissociation of an $AB_3$ type electrolyte is given by: $AB_3 \rightarrow A^{3+} + 3B^{-}$.
According to Kohlrausch's law of independent migration of ions,the molar conductivity at infinite dilution $(\Lambda_m^{\circ})$ is the sum of the molar conductivities of the constituent ions multiplied by their respective stoichiometric coefficients.
Therefore,$\Lambda_m^{\circ} = \nu_{+} \lambda_{+}^{\circ} + \nu_{-} \lambda_{-}^{\circ}$.
Here,$\nu_{+} = 1$ (for $A^{3+}$) and $\nu_{-} = 3$ (for $B^{-}$).
Thus,$\Lambda_m^{\circ} = \lambda_{A^{3+}}^{\circ} + 3 \lambda_{B^{-}}^{\circ}$.

Given conductivity $\kappa = 6.065 \times 10^{-4} \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^{-1}$ and concentration $c = 0.005 \ M$.
Substituting the values:
$\wedge_{m} = \frac{1000 \times 6.065 \times 10^{-4}}{0.005} = \frac{0.6065}{0.005} = 121.3 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$.

B
$3 \lambda_{A^{2+}}^0 + 2 \lambda_{B^{3-}}^0$
C
$2 \lambda_{A^{3+}}^0 + 3 \lambda_{B^{2-}}^0$
D
$1 \lambda_{A^{6+}}^0 + 3 \lambda_{B^{2-}}^0$

Solution

(A) The molar conductivity at infinite dilution for an electrolyte is given by Kohlrausch's law: $\Lambda_m^0 = \nu_+ \lambda_+^0 + \nu_- \lambda_-^0$.
For the electrolyte $A_2B_3$,the dissociation reaction is: $A_2B_3 \rightarrow 2A^{3+} + 3B^{2-}$.
Here,the stoichiometric coefficients are $\nu_+ = 2$ and $\nu_- = 3$.
Therefore,the molar conductivity is: $\Lambda_m^0(A_2B_3) = 2 \lambda_{A^{3+}}^0 + 3 \lambda_{B^{2-}}^0$.

$\wedge_m^0(NH_4OH) = \lambda_{NH_4^+}^0 + \lambda_{OH^-}^0$
We are given:
$1. \wedge_m^0(Ba(OH)_2) = \lambda_{Ba^{2+}}^0 + 2\lambda_{OH^-}^0 = 520 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$
$2. \wedge_m^0(BaCl_2) = \lambda_{Ba^{2+}}^0 + 2\lambda_{Cl^-}^0 = 280 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$
$3. \wedge_m^0(NH_4Cl) = \lambda_{NH_4^+}^0 + \lambda_{Cl^-}^0 = 129 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$
To get $\wedge_m^0(NH_4OH)$,we perform the operation: $\frac{1}{2} \wedge_m^0(Ba(OH)_2) + \wedge_m^0(NH_4Cl) - \frac{1}{2} \wedge_m^0(BaCl_2)$
$= \frac{1}{2}(520) + 129 - \frac{1}{2}(280)$
$= 260 + 129 - 140$
$= 249.0 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$

A
$S \ dm^3 \ mol^{-1}$
B
$S \ m^2 \ mol^{-1}$
C
$S \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$
D

Solution

(B) Molar conductivity $(\Lambda_m)$ is defined as the conducting power of all the ions produced by dissolving one mole of an electrolyte in a solution.
The formula is $\Lambda_m = \frac{\kappa}{c}$,where $\kappa$ is conductivity $(S \ m^{-1})$ and $c$ is concentration $(mol \ m^{-3})$.
Substituting the units: $\frac{S \ m^{-1}}{mol \ m^{-3}} = S \ m^2 \ mol^{-1}$.
Thus,the $SI$ unit of molar conductivity is $S \ m^2 \ mol^{-1}$.

MediumMCQ
Which among the following concentrations of $KCl$ solution is not used to determine the cell constant of a conductivity cell?
A
Saturated $KCl$
B
$1.0 \ M \ KCl$
C
$0.01 \ M \ KCl$
D
$0.1 \ M \ KCl$

Solution

(A) The cell constant $(G^*)$ of a conductivity cell is determined by measuring the resistance of a standard $KCl$ solution whose conductivity $(\kappa)$ is already known.
Standard solutions typically used for this purpose are $0.01 \ M$,$0.1 \ M$,and $1.0 \ M$ $KCl$ solutions.
$A$ saturated $KCl$ solution is not used because its concentration is extremely high,leading to very high conductivity and potential errors in resistance measurement due to polarization effects and instrument limitations.

Molarity $M = 0.20 \ M$
Substituting the values:
$\Lambda_{m} = \frac{0.0248 \times 1000}{0.20}$
$\Lambda_{m} = \frac{24.8}{0.20} = 124 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$.

C
$278 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$
D
$176 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

(A) According to Kohlrausch's law of independent migration of ions:
$\wedge^0_{NaBr} = \lambda^0_{Na^+} + \lambda^0_{Br^-}$
$\wedge^0_{NaCl} = \lambda^0_{Na^+} + \lambda^0_{Cl^-} = 126 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$
$\wedge^0_{KBr} = \lambda^0_{K^+} + \lambda^0_{Br^-} = 152 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$
$\wedge^0_{KCl} = \lambda^0_{K^+} + \lambda^0_{Cl^-} = 150 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$
To obtain $\wedge^0_{NaBr}$,we perform the operation:
$\wedge^0_{NaBr} = \wedge^0_{NaCl} + \wedge^0_{KBr} - \wedge^0_{KCl}$
$\wedge^0_{NaBr} = 126 + 152 - 150 = 128 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$
313
MediumMCQ
For which of the following electrolytes is Kohlrausch's law of independent migration of ions used to calculate molar conductivity at zero concentration?
A
$NaNO_3$
B
$NH_4OH$
C
$KCl$
D
$BaSO_4$

Solution

(B) Kohlrausch's law of independent migration of ions is primarily used to determine the molar conductivity at infinite dilution (zero concentration) for weak electrolytes,such as $NH_4OH$,which do not dissociate completely in solution. For strong electrolytes like $NaNO_3$,$KCl$,and $BaSO_4$,the molar conductivity at zero concentration can be determined by extrapolating the plot of $\Lambda_m$ versus $\sqrt{c}$.

Given: $\kappa = 1.5 \times 10^{-4} \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^{-1}$ and $R = 150 \ \Omega$.
Substituting the values: $1.5 \times 10^{-4} = \frac{1}{150} \times G^*$.
Therefore,$G^* = 1.5 \times 10^{-4} \times 150 = 0.0225 \ cm^{-1}$.

$K = \frac{\Lambda_m \times M}{1000}$
Given:
$\Lambda_m = 141 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$
$M = 0.01 \ M$
Substituting the values:
$K = \frac{141 \times 0.01}{1000} = \frac{1.41}{1000} = 1.41 \times 10^{-3} \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^{-1}$
317

A
$S \ m^{-1}$
B
$S \ m^2 \ mol^{-1}$
C
$S \ cm^{-1}$
D

$\Omega^{-1}$ is also known as Siemens $(S)$.
Therefore,the $SI$ unit of conductivity is $S \ m^{-1}$.

Which among the following statements is true for conductivity?
A
It is inversely proportional to resistivity.
B
It is inversely proportional to molar conductivity.
C
It is directly proportional to resistivity.
D
It is directly proportional to resistance.

Solution

(A) Specific conductance or conductivity $(k)$ is defined as the reciprocal of specific resistance or resistivity $(\rho)$.
Mathematically,$k = \frac{1}{\rho}$.
Since resistivity $(\rho)$ is the resistance offered by a unit volume of the conductor,conductivity represents the ease with which current flows through that unit volume.
Therefore,conductivity is inversely proportional to resistivity.

D
$2.8 \times 10^{-2} \ \Omega \ cm$

Solution

(A) The formula for molar conductivity is $\Lambda_m = \frac{k \times 1000}{M}$.
Given $\Lambda_m = 2.5 \times 10^2 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$ and $M = 0.4 \ M$.
Substituting the values: $2.5 \times 10^2 = \frac{k \times 1000}{0.4}$.
$k = \frac{2.5 \times 10^2 \times 0.4}{1000} = \frac{100}{1000} = 0.1 \ \Omega^{-1} \ cm^{-1}$.
Resistivity $\rho$ is the reciprocal of conductivity $k$: $\rho = \frac{1}{k} = \frac{1}{0.1} = 10 \ \Omega \ cm$.

Solution

(C) The relationship between conductivity $(\kappa)$,resistance $(R)$,and cell constant $(G^*)$ is given by: $\kappa = \frac{1}{R} \times G^*$.
Rearranging for the cell constant: $G^* = \kappa \times R$.
Given: $\kappa = 1.2 \ S \ m^{-1}$ and $R = 30 \ \Omega$.
$G^* = 1.2 \ S \ m^{-1} \times 30 \ \Omega = 36 \ m^{-1}$.
Since $1 \ m = 100 \ cm$,then $1 \ m^{-1} = 10^{-2} \ cm^{-1}$.

The electrical conductance of unit volume $(1 \ cm^3)$ of solution is called as
A
electrical resistance
B
resistivity
C
molar conductivity
D

Solution

(D) Specific conductance or conductivity $(\kappa)$ is defined as the reciprocal of specific resistance $(\rho)$: $\kappa = \frac{1}{\rho}$.
Since $R = \rho \frac{\ell}{A}$,we have $\frac{1}{\rho} = \frac{1}{R} \times \frac{\ell}{A}$.

A
$\Omega \ cm^{-1}$
B
$\Omega^{-1} \ cm^{-1}$
C
$\Omega \ cm$
D
$\Omega^{-1} \ cm$

Solution

$\kappa = \frac{1}{\rho}$
Since resistivity $\rho = R \times \frac{A}{l}$,where $R$ is resistance in $\Omega$,$A$ is area in $cm^2$,and $l$ is length in $cm$.
$\kappa = \frac{1}{R} \times \frac{l}{A} = \Omega^{-1} \times \frac{cm}{cm^2} = \Omega^{-1} \ cm^{-1}$.
Thus,the common unit of conductivity in the $C.G.S.$ system is $\Omega^{-1} \ cm^{-1}$ or $S \ cm^{-1}$.
